    Hi all

    As far as I can see I have sifted through the client’s requirements and narrowed down the important info:

    – the series will be delivered on HD: 1080 at 59.94i drop frame.
    – broadcaster will be broadcasting in both HD and NTSC
    – another broadcaster will then convert to PAL (4:3) and re-broadcast, so gfx should take into account the lower-res formats as well in terms of width of lnies, etc, to avoid flicker

    To start me off, which of the AE comp HD presets should I start with? Then, can anyone with experience of this suggest a good workflow? It’s my first tilt at HD and my palms are a bit sweaty…

    cheers
    A

    Are you just doing pure graphics work? Is there video (HD) mixed into these comps?

    I wonder how the show is being broadcast in NTSC? Letterboxed? 4×3 cropped?

    My guess is, i that you will still have to design and work within the 4×3 safetitles in your HD comp to avoid your graphics being cut off in low rez delivery. But you will stil have to animate and design for the HD side as well. So it is all quite ugly.

    I believe that HD is upper field in Rendering for 1080i.
